Part 2 - Racing Cars Driven by Female Champions

There have been many women who pursued a career as a racing driver in the post-war period and there are still many to this day. Women compete at the same level as their male rivals, and it will not be surprising when one of them – the first but certainly not the last – becomes part of the 20 drivers holding a Formula 1 steering wheel. But Roarington has a special place in its heart for classic cars, which is why our journey, aimed at highlighting the cars with which women have raced at a professional level, will only go as far as Danica Patrick who won an IndyCar race in 2008. Who are the other women who left their mark in motorsport? Their names include Maria Teresa de Filippis, Denise McCluggage, Ada Pace, Lella Lombardi, Marie-Claude Beaumont and, of course, Danica Patrick.
